Problems solved by technology

At such time, the engine-driven flywheel cooperates with an axially movable rotary pressure plate of the friction clutch to drive the clutch disc (e.g., with minimal slip or without slip between the friction surfaces of the flywheel and the clutch disc on the one hand, and th

Embodiment Construction

FIG. 1 shows a torsional vibration damping apparatus 1 which is a clutch disc or clutch plate adapted to be utilized in a manually operable or automated torque transmitting system, for example, in a friction clutch of the type shown in FIG. 2 of commonly owned U.S. Pat. No. 5,409,091 granted Apr. 25, 1995 to Reik et al. for "AUTOMATICALLY ADJUSTABLE FRICTION CLUTCH". The apparatus 1 comprises a first torsional vibration damper 2 and a second or main or primary torsional vibration damper 3.

The input component of the apparatus 1 comprises a rotary disc 5 carrying two sets of friction linings 4 and being non-rotataby secured to a coaxial second disc 7 by a set of rivets 6 adapted to maintain the two discs 5, 7 at a fixed axial distance from each other. The input component 4-7 of the apparatus 1 further constitutes the input member of the main damper 3. The output member of the main damper 3 comprises a rotary washer-like member 8 (called flange) having an internal profile 9 (such as an...

Abstract

A torsional vibration damping apparatus, such as a clutch disc or clutch plate in an automated or manually operable friction clutch which is employed in the power train of a motor vehicle, has a rotary input component adapted to be driven by a prime mover, a rotary output component coaxial with the input component and arranged to transmit torque to a manually or automatically shiftable transmission, and several series-connected torsional vibration dampers serving to oppose rotation of the input and output components relative to each other. At least one of the dampers constitutes a preassembled module wherein coaxial annular input and output elements are provided with arcuate pockets for circumferentially extending coil springs serving to oppose rotation of the input and output elements relative to each other. The elements are further provided with rigid and/or resilient projections and/or other suitable confining configurations which can couple the elements to at least one of the coil springs to thus hold such elements against movement axially and away from each other.

Description

The present invention relates to improvements in torsional vibration dampers, and more particularly to improvements in apparatus which embody one or more dampers to prevent the transmission of torsional vibrations and / or other stray movements from a rotary input component to a rotary output component which can rotate with and relative to the input component.It is already known to prevent the transmission of undesirable vibratory and / or other stray movements from a rotary input component to a rotary output component by resorting to torque transmitting means in the form of several torsional vibration dampers. For example, the torque transmitting means can comprise a first or auxiliary damper with coaxial rotary input and output elements and one or more energy storing devices (such as coil springs) between such elements, and a second or main damper with energy storing devices which are normally stiffer (i.e., more resistant to deformation) than the energy storing device or devices of t...
